It's harvest time and we are thrilled to invite our neighbors and fellow community members to join in through our annual "all-you-can-dig party!"

At various R.D. Offutt Farm locations from sunrise till sunset, those interested can bring potato forks and buckets to a specific RDO field and dig to their heart’s content.

Fields will be clearly marked with signage and flags. Please stay within the designated area. Please dig at your own risk!

Potatoes will be available while supplies last.

Don’t forget to snap a picture and tag us on Instagram and Facebook, #RDOpotatofielddays. Happy digging!
